Радио ВЕРА - Святая Анна Пророчица, мать пророка Самуила - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

The holy prophetess Anna was married to Elkanah and was barren. Elkanah took another wife, Peninnah, from whom children were born. Anna greatly grieved over her misfortune and, praying every day for resolution of infertility, made a vow to dedicate the child to God. One day, when she was fervently praying in the temple, the priest Eli decided that she was drunk and began to reproach her. But the saint meekly poured out her grief and, having received a blessing, returned home. After this, Anna conceived and gave birth to a son, whom she named Samuel (which means “asked of God”). When the child reached adolescence, the mother herself brought him to the priest Eli, and he left Samuel to serve at the tabernacle. Samuel became the last Israeli judge and prophet. Anna bore her husband three more sons and two daughters.
